Whitehaven senior wide receiver Keveon Mullins committed to Memphis in April following the Tigers' spring game. Now he is reconsider­ing his options.

Mullins, a four-star recruit, tweeted Wednesday afternoon that he was de-committing from Memphis and re-opening his recruiting process.

"I just want time to think and see other places," Mullins tweeted. "I would also like to thank the University of Memphis and the coaching staff for recruiting me and being good people."

According to an interview with Rivals, Mullins said he plans on visiting Georgia, South Carolina, Louisville, Florida State and Ole Miss this summer. He added that the Memphis coaches did not pressure him to commit right away and reconsider­ed his commitment after discussing it with his mother.

Earlier this week, the Tigers' coaching staff was praised for being able to land two four-star 2019 commits this early in the recruiting cycle with Mullins and IMG defensive end Eric Gregory. Now the Tigers only have commitment­s from Gregory and three-star offensive lineman Trevis Hopper from Central.

Mullins is currently ranked as the 14th-best prospect in the state according to 24/7 Sports. As a junior at East last season, the 6-3, 210-pound Mullins had 52 catches for 1,011 yards and eight touchdowns before transferri­ng to Whitehaven
